Save Lives—and the Environment—From The Taliban

About that absurd Newsweek headline celebrating the Taliban vow to ‘Fight Terror and Climate Change’:they’re filling the vacuum left by the Barack Obama-controlled U.S. Democrats in Afghanistan! Climate Change is dying, has been for some time, and Covid and its variants are on life support. Some of us have to pinch ourselves when reading what we see on the Internet of our day.

“Has Newsweek lost its mind? The outlet published an insane article giving the Taliban praise for promising to fight “terror” and “climate change” in order to gain legitimacy in world politics. (NewsBusters, Aug. 25, 2021) Thanks to the Marxist cunning of the O’Biden Democrats, the Taliban has already “gained legitimacy in world politics in a carefully plotted story that reads: ‘Bad Guys, USA, Good Guys, Taliban”. It’s a fairytale fed by the blood of millions of innocents—tens of thousands more coming with their Aug. 31 ultimatum to what is left of what some still think of as the “Free World”. They’re already lined up to take seat on UN Commission on the Status of Women. (Yahoo, August 24, 2021)

“The magazine’s headline read like a Babylon Bee joke: “Seeking World Recognition, Taliban Vows to Help Fight Terror and Climate Change.” (Newsbusters) “Newsweek Senior Writer of Foreign Policy Tom O’Connor pushed how Taliban Cultural Commission member Abdul Qahar Balkhi “told Newsweek that his group sought worldwide recognition of the Islamic Emirate.” Balkhi propagandized to the outlet how the organization's drive for “recognition” would be bolstered in part by the terror group’s commitment to “fight terror” and so-called climate change. “‘We hope not only to be recognized by regional countries but the entire world at large as the legitimate representative government of the people of Afghanistan,’” Balkhi said in part, according to Newsweek."

Balkhi must have graduated cum laude from the Bernie Sanders/ Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ‘Fool’s School of Sky-is-Falling Chicken Littles’

“It is damning that a U.S. publication would lower itself so far down the eco-extremist cesspool that it would attempt to humanize an Islamic terrorist group currently slaughtering people in Afghanistan as a result of President Joe Biden’s massive foreign policy failure. “O’Connor propagandized how Balkhi “argued that such a move [for world recognition] would be to the benefit of not only Afghanistan but nations across the globe.” He dedicated several lines to allowing Balkhi to direct attention away from the murder his organization is inflicting on the Afghani people onto climate change: ‘We believe the world has a unique opportunity of rapprochement and coming together to tackle the challenges not only facing us but the entire humanity,’ Balkhi added, ‘and these challenges ranging from world security and climate change need the collective efforts of all, and cannot be achieved if we exclude or ignore an entire people who have been devastated by imposed wars for the past four decades.’"

Balkhi must have graduated cum laude from the Bernie Sanders/ Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ‘Fool’s School of Sky-is-Falling Chicken Littles’.

Will the new eco-extremist meme now be: “Save the Environment—From The Taliban’?

“O’Connor even puffed how “the Taliban have expressed their concern for the environment and its future.” He did this before adding a qualifier that the group’s takeover placed it “effectively in control of what's estimated by the U.S. Geological Survey to be up to $1 trillion in mineral resources.” (Newsbusters)

Will the new eco-extremist meme now be: “Save the Environment—From The Taliban’?

“Newsweek’s decision to provide a megaphone to the Taliban wasn’t the first time a prominent outlet has tried to nonsensically lump the terrorist group and climate change together. Recently, CBS News published an outrageous story blaming climate change for the Taliban’s rise. CBS News climate and energy reporter Cara Korte’s absurd story was headlined: “How climate change helped strengthen the Taliban.” (Newsbusters) “But O’Connor’s Taliban spin was horrific in another context as well. The United Nations reported in July that “[m]ore women and children were killed and wounded in Afghanistan in the first half of 2021 than in the first six months of any year since records began in 2009.” The UN said these records followed “the Taliban offensive to take territory from Government forces.” But that didn’t stop O’Connor from summarizing the Taliban’s absurdity that “militants would never again be allowed to launch attacks against other countries” in the first paragraph of his story.”

Meanwhile, True Life Is Much Stranger Than Fiction—particularly when it is Fake News dominating the reporting.
